Not the best of races as you would expect for selling company and one where there are few contenders, but Timidjar might just be good enough to score from Tiger Talk and Indigo Beach. The 10-year-old has put in a couple of good efforts since receiving a hefty drop in the weights and ran his best race for some time when just held at Newton Abbot last time. A 4lb rise will not help here, but now that he has found some form he can take a very ordinary contest. Indigo Beach has to shoulder top weight courtesy of successive wins last season. Not seen out for over a year, he will be plenty fresh enough but might just need the run and a can reach a place. Meanwhile Tiger Talk is a regular here and usually reserves his best efforts for the track. He can again go well but is a confirmed one pacer and may find the others too good. Alpine Hideaway and Mishead are others to consider, but the vote goes to Timidjar to continue his good recent form.
